Wow Wow Wow!!!

 

The black and gold have an interesting vibe.

 

(I have tested out a silver and gold one. Don't memba the exact name.)

There are 4-5 different colors combo's possible for the nib.....a very, very 'Springy' nib like MB or the Falcon but much better than my Woolf.

In Heidelberg on the Hauptstrasse/Mainstreet there is a Lamy only pen store. That nib has great tine bend.....but unfortunately only 2 X tine spread.

With 3 X tine spread (semi-flex), I'd connived one already.

 

The nib will not fit my old Persona.....I do have to call up the factory and ask if the section would fit....then comes the long dithering as I try to decide either which nib colors I want....or if I'll have to :blush: :rolleyes: sell pens.

In reference to P. T. Barnum; to advise for free is foolish, ........busybodies are ill liked by both factions.

I kind of liked my Persona from way back when.

Makes me wonder how Lamy can get the Imporium so right and the 50th anniversary 2000 so wrong.

 

For the amount of money each cost I'd rather spend my money on an Imporium, if I had it available.

 

The black Imporium really floats my boat!

I presented myself with one, also the black version, early last year as a present to self/celebration/consolation for several Life Events.

 

 

It's a great pen. Heavy but I like that. I have chosen an XF, very unusual for me. And I find it very smooth for an XF. (my Cross Verve XF is smoother)

 

Only one minor negative point: The threads on the cap sometimes make it sit askew, so you have to unscrew and try again.

You need to try my trick (which actually I got off Stephen Brown on YouTube). Put the cap on, but before twisting, turn the other direction for about 15-30 degrees, then turn the correct direction - it helps line the threads up/

:) Yes, I too saw Stephen's review. That does not change that it IS a small flaw.

I like that so well that I had placed an order for one, prior to seeing this thread, from Iguana sell. I wanted the B nib and they do not have one so are having to order from Lamy and I should have it in a few weeks.

Regards

I finally got mine today, just over a month. I had to wait on an oblique bold nib, which is not too bold compare to some other makes, but nice, wet, and smooth. The pictures in previous posts are good but do not do the pen justice, For a modern pen it is rather stunning, different, but rather dignified in appearance.

Regards

      I have the Sailor Naginata and some fancy blade nibs coming after 2022 by a number of new workshop from China.  With all my respect, IMHO, they are all (bleep) in doing chinese characters.  Go use a bush, or at least a bush pen.

      It is the reason why I'm so keen on the idea of a personal library — of pens, nibs, inks, paper products, etc. — and spent so much money, as well as time and effort, to “build” it for myself (because I can't simply remember everything, especially as I'm getting older fast) and my wife, so that we can “know”; and, instead of just disposing of what displeased us, or even just not good enough to be “given the time of day” against competition from >500 other pens and >500 other inks for our at

      Agreed.  And I think it’s good to be aware of this early on and think about at the point of buying rather than rationalizing a purchase..

      Alas, one cannot know “good” without some idea of “bad” against which to contrast; and, as one of my former bosses (back when I was in my twenties) used to say, “on the scale of good to bad…”, it's a spectrum, not a dichotomy. Whereas subjectively acceptable (or tolerable) and unacceptable may well be a dichotomy to someone, and finding whether the threshold or cusp between them lies takes experiencing many degrees of less-than-ideal, especially if the decision is somehow influenced by factors o

      I got my first real fountain pen on my 60th birthday and many hundreds of pens later I’ve often thought of what I should’ve known in the beginning. I have many pens, the majority of which have some objectionable feature. If they are too delicate, or can’t be posted, or they are too precious to face losing , still they are users, but only in very limited environments..  I have a big disliking for pens that have the cap jump into the air and fly off. I object to Pens that dry out, or leave blobs o
